Press release available only in original language. 

Valtteri storms to pole in Barcelona

  • Valtteri claimed his ninth Formula One pole position - his third of the 2019 season and first in Barcelona

  • Lewis will start tomorrow’s Spanish Grand Prix from P2 on the grid

  • Both drivers will start the race on the Soft tyre

Valtteri Bottas

This feels really good. In every run in Qualifying I found room for improvement, little bits here and there, and I managed to get everything together in Q3 and had a very strong first lap. I think the package we have brought to Barcelona is working very well and the car was very strong, especially in Sector 3. All the credit for that goes to the team, thank you to everyone back in Brackley and Brixworth. Our long run pace looked good on Friday, but a lot can happen on a Sunday. The start and Turn 1 will be particularly important. Tomorrow, Lewis and I both want to win, so I’m looking forward to a hard and fair fight.
